    Far away in Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander of the Independent Division and the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Indochina Peninsula and East India, was in charge of the two major territories of the Independent Division - Indochina and East India. He was wise. He read the telegram from the division commander.  After that, it was proposed that just transferring one 29th Corps to the north might not be enough to cope with the Japanese reinforcements. It was proposed that six to seven brigades from the Shulin Mobile Corps be mobilized to strengthen the strength of the northern battlefield.

    After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli said without thinking: "No, you call Deputy Commander Tang back. The strength of the troops in the southern region has been reduced to the minimum. No more deployment can be done. The Japanese's behavior is unpredictable.  , no one cares about guarantees, and takes advantage of our fierce battle in the north and the lack of troops in the south to attack the Indo-China Peninsula!"

    Zhao Yuhe swallowed a mouthful of food and said: "Commander, I think so too! We must maintain a certain amount of troops in the Indochina Peninsula to deter the Japanese. I don't understand. The Japanese army came from several places in the Southwest Pacific.  Aren't you afraid that we will take the opportunity to launch an attack by deploying troops to the island?"

    When Tang Qiuli was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, burped with satisfaction, and said: "I'm afraid, the Japanese are more afraid of them than anyone else, but there is no other way. I judge that the Japanese may even give up those islands.  Plan to concentrate our forces to solve the problems on the Australian battlefield and the battlefields in the Far East, Northeast and Korean Peninsula!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Teacher, I have a suggestion¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled slightly and stopped Zhao Yuhe's next words, "Yuhe, there is no need to go on, the time is not ripe! By the way, I just called Zhou Yushan. Order the Peiping Rear Area Joint Service Department, within a week  Within this period, gas masks will be distributed to all troops participating in the Northern Campaign, so that each soldier must have one. Keep an eye on this matter! At the same time, remind the commanders of each corps to ensure that each soldier must have one.  Senior officers and ordinary soldiers are strictly required to carry gas masks with them!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.  He said in disbelief: "Commander, do you suspect that the Japanese used poison gas? It's impossible. Isn't that a blatant violation of international conventions?"

    Tang Qiuli said coldly: "Yuhe, please remember one thing, no matter how careful you are against the Japanese, you can never be too careful. No matter how you imagine, it is not out of line! That is a nation and country composed of lunatics and self-destructive characters!"

    In the pitch-black night, boundless darkness shrouded the earth, but the port of Incheon in the middle of the Korean Peninsula was a busy scene, with dazzling lights on the port.  As bright as day, cargo ships unloaded large quantities of cargo, which were then loaded onto trucks and sped away.

    On the ruins of the Japanese army in Incheon, there was another scene. Countless electric lights illuminated the place as bright as day, and the roar of construction machinery engines was heard.  The vehicles and people traveling back and forth turned this place into a huge construction site, and there was a lot of noise everywhere. An engineering department regiment of the Independent Division Northern Flying Group.  We are working hard all night to clean up the rubble at Incheon Airport and repair the Incheon Airport as soon as possible in accordance with the orders of the headquarters.

    On a hill about three or four kilometers away from the brightly lit Incheon Airport, among the dense bushes, a short man was lying on his back, holding a telescope and carefully observing the brightly lit Incheon Airport.  Ten minutes later, a group of trucks loaded with construction materials drove into the construction site. "Yo Xi!" the little man muttered, climbed out of the bushes, and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

    A few hours later, a top-secret telegram flew from a small village near Inchon on the Korean Peninsula to the General Administration of Military Intelligence, the Japanese base camp. Whether it was Ma Chaoyang who was anxiously waiting for a reply from his division commander in Mokpo, or the navy and air force in Qingdao, Shandong  Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin at the base did not know how much danger this incident would bring to the Incheon Airport that was under construction. The war was raging on the Korean Peninsula, and the tentacles of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Branch had not yet covered this area.  .

    Mokpo, Korean Peninsula, the temporary headquarters of the Southeast Mobile Corps headquarters. The commander, Major General Ma Chaoyang, was pacing back and forth anxiously in his tent. Since the telegram was sent, he has been waiting uneasily for Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Cross-Sea Campaign Command.  The general's call back was very quick. Not only did he agree with his new battle plan, he also included the opinions of the Cross-Sea Campaign Command, expressing his strong support.

    But Ma Chaoyang knew that when it came to the Korean Peninsula battlefield, an important part of the overall deployment of the northern campaign, changing the combat mode would not work without Commander Tang's consent. The final decision was made by the division commander.

    "Chief of Staff, has it been almost an hour since the telegrams were sent out? Why hasn't the division commander responded to the call yet? Do you think our new combat plan will be approved by the division commander? After all, our actions are too big!"  Chaoyang looked anxious and asked Colonel Xu Guangqi, the chief of staff.

    Xu Guangqi also felt thatAt the end of the day, he was still relieved: "Commander, such a major change in the way of combat is not a trivial matter. We must allow the division commander to hold a meeting to study it. I analyzed that the division commander has not called back. I am afraid that he is studying our  As for the battle plan, you¡¯d better eat something first. It¡¯s been more than ten hours since noon and I haven¡¯t eaten a single bite of food. How can this continue?¡±

    "If the division commander's order comes down and our plan is approved, I'm afraid we won't have time to have a peaceful meal in the coming days!" Xu Guangqi said, gesturing to the guards behind him, and the guards understood and went out.

    Ma Chaoyang still didn't stop and said: "Chief of Staff, how can I think about eating? I'm so anxious. The new combat plan has not been approved by the division commander, so we have taken action first. The two transferred  A heavy artillery brigade and two tank brigades requesting assistance from the Armored Forces Command will arrive at Mokpo Port tomorrow. If the division commander disagrees, although we have a preliminary plan and can make temporary adjustments, we are still passive! "

    "The combat meeting has also been held, and the emotions of officers at all levels have been aroused. If the fire withdrawal division commander does not approve our new combat plan, it will affect the morale of the troops, and it will be difficult to fight the next battle.  Now think about it, we were a bit reckless in this matter. Why did we act like we were going to kill him first and then report it? Wasn¡¯t this forcing the teacher to express his position? "What we did was a bit rough!"  Shaking his head and sighing, he reflected on himself.

    Xu Guangqi comforted: "Commander, you don't have to worry. Since Commander-in-Chief Tang of the Cross-Sea Battle has agreed with our new battle plan and strongly supports it, I consider that the division commander has no possibility of vetoing it. After all, the words of Fleet Commander Tang  Rights are still very important!¡±

    Ma Chaoyang shook his head and said: "Chief of Staff, it's not that simple. Commander Tang's telegram stated that the prerequisite for supporting our new Mokpo battle plan is that there must be enough reserve corps to join the Mokpo battlefield, from Indochina Peninsula.  The transfer of the 29th Corps is a matter that affects the overall situation, so it is very complicated. The division commander must consider many aspects! There is a high possibility of rejecting our new combat plan! "

    Ma Chaoyang turned around and looked at the dark night sky. Xu Guangqi wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. At this time, a confidential staff officer came in and was about to shout a report. Xu Guangqi stopped him and whispered.  Asked: "What's going on?"

    The confidential staff officer also replied in a low voice: "Chief of Staff, the division commander and the sea-crossing campaign headquarters have all called back!" As he said that, he took out two telegrams from the folder.

    Xu Guangqi took the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and shouted excitedly: "The commander, the division commander and the sea-crossing campaign headquarters have all approved our plan!"

    "What?" Ma Chaoyang turned around suddenly, "Chief of Staff, the specific content of the telegram!"

    Xu Guangqi said: "The division commander approved our campaign plan, and the 29th Corps in Indochina was transferred north to join the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. The original cross-sea battle headquarters was abolished and the Korean Peninsula Theater Command was established. Fleet Commander Tang  Officer serves as the theater commander. In addition, Commander Tang called. He has led the fleet that was originally escorting the Marine Corps on the northern line and set off from the Qingdao Navy and Air Force Base to Mokpo! "

    Ma Chaoyang's eyes were filled with sparkle, and he said eagerly: "Thank God, my work was not in vain. Commander Tang is here. Otherwise, with such a big mess, I really can't do what I want. Chief of Staff, the two heavy artillery brigades and  The two tank brigades will be able to land at Mokpo tomorrow. You immediately organize the staff of the staff office to formulate a plan for coordinated sea, air and ground firepower operations overnight, and then notify the plan to the aviation and fleet respectively. The day after tomorrow, I am going to fight!  "

    Near noon the next day, Tang Qiuquan arrived at Mokpo Port and stood on the deck of the flagship. Mokpo Pier was a busy scene. He watched the ships unloading large-caliber heavy artillery and tanks. He smiled and said to Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo.  The major general said: "Xi Guo, it seems that Ma Chaoyang is preparing for a big fight! The terrain conditions of Mokpo are not suitable for large-scale armored group assaults. He and the Armored Forces Command requested two brigades of tank troops to  What tricks are you doing?"

    Xin Xiguo replied: "Commander, according to the content of Commander Ma's telegram, he wants to use tanks to cover multiple attacks by small groups of troops and minimize troop casualties. The Japanese army lacks anti-tank weapons. This can be regarded as a  Method!"

    The fleet docked, Ma Chaoyang led the members of the Corps Headquarters, and the brigade commanders of each brigade were waiting at the dock. Seeing Tang Qiuquan walking down the gangway, they hurried forward to greet him, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Commander Tang, Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps, leading the Corps  Members of the corps and brigade commanders come to greet the commander and ask for instructions!¡±

    Tang Qiuquan looked at the row of shining generals in front of him. A dozen major generals stood in a row with their backs straight, and then he said with a smile: "Chaoyang, the battle is not small, it's just right."??There is no need to give further notice, let's go, convene a military meeting immediately!  "
